Overview
Van der Bend Patch Test Chambers are professional patch testing chambers designed for human skin research and clinical trials, especially for evaluating the tolerance and safety of cosmetic, dermatological, and topical products. They are used worldwide by research laboratories and clinical testing centers to compare multiple products or formulations under controlled conditions.
The chambers provide a reliable and practical method for contact allergy testing, skin tolerance studies, irritation assessment, and cosmetic safety evaluation. Their design supports optimal occlusion, quick application, and clear test site identification, helping researchers generate consistent and comparable results.
Each chamber contains a chromatographic filter paper fixed without glue, reducing the risk of residue remaining on the skin after removal. The tape is made from hypoallergenic medical non-woven polyester, and the chambers are made from medical-grade polypropylene.
With their compact square shape, clear skin imprint, and easy marking features, Van der Bend Patch Test Chambers help support accurate visual assessment of skin reactions. They are especially valuable for cosmetic R&D, formulation comparison, claim support, clinical safety studies, and product tolerance testing
